Castelul Kusquam Gondar, Etiopia

Scattered in and around Gondar is a wealth of other castles, churches and historical buildings. Perhaps the most charming of these is the bath house that King Fasilides built near a river below the city. Here amidst eucalyptus and cedar trees the old trianon palace sits surrounded by a large pool. Nearby is a small mausoleum said to have been built for the king's favorite horse. Overlooking the city to the west is Kusquam Castle built by Empress Mentaub. Several rivers around Gondar are still crossed on bridges built during the city's Golden Age.
